Fino Payments Bank, Indokem, and Others Surge 20% Amid Weak Market on Oct 8

On Thursday, October 8, the Indian equity market witnessed a sharp decline as the benchmark NIFTY50 fell 1.8% to an intraday low of 22,190 points, dropping below 22,200 for the first time since the previous close of 22,603.05. The BSE SENSEX mirrored the downturn, slipping 1.69% to 71,406.79 from 72,638.70. Global bond yields and oil prices exerted selling pressure, contributing to the broader market weakness. Despite this backdrop, several stocks experienced significant gains, driven by high‑volume trading and positive company updates.

Trading activity exceeded 2 crore equity shares, a 182.39‑fold increase over the average daily volume of 1,09,935 shares on the National Stock Exchange. On a two‑week basis, volume rose 133.43 times, reflecting investor focus on the bank’s July‑September quarter results.

The surge was supported by the company’s latest filings, which highlighted a 19% revenue growth from existing stores and a record first‑half topline of ₹5,000 crore, despite gold price volatility between ₹1,40,000 and ₹1,50,000 per 10 grams.
